I've been wondering for a long time now where kids were learning to bully.  Now I know.  

All I can say is SHAME SHAME SHAME on all the dumb a** adults who dream up this kind of KWAP!!!!!!

It's absolutely horrible, IMO. Cannot stand the idea any more than I do.

No I don't think it's a great idea. More ways to be mean anonymously.

An opportunity to engage in libel on a grand and dangerously easy scale, with impunity. Can't see how that's good for anyone.

Hm, YELP for people ratings?  How does one do this?

I'm pretty sure, in fact I am VERY sure no one needs an ap to berate people.  We're pretty darn good at this already.

And if you come across anyone you're not fond of, WALK AWAY.  No need to tear them down.

It appears the backlash was so severe the developers are changing the app to be something other than originally planned.

This article explains some of the changes:

Snopes.com has a good article with all details of the history of this ill-conceived offering:

No, @deepwaterdotter it's not a good idea

People are already negative enough without an 

app to help them be more negative.
